My first year of college is finally over ! Well "finally"... I was a bit stressed because of my final exams but I really do enjoy my studies. I have been procrastinating for the last few weeks in order to relieve myself from the post-finals-traumatic-experience. That's why I can now have a decent life again. I made a small to-do list for this summer 2013 : I hope I will be able to complete everything (or complete the best I can for the "innumerable" to-do things) before the end of September.

My friends and I spent the last weekend together. How great it was ! We had a casual evening between friends, so I don't have to tell you about, except they always all are fabulous ♥ I picked a circus-tamer inspired coordination. Well... some people told me it was more looking like a horse rider or White Rabbit inspired outfit, I guess I'm fine with that too, haha~

You should check Marie and Tro-tro's blogs in order to know more about this day and my friends' coordinations (I swear you should)

Last February I had the chance to go to the Baby, the stars shine bright's winter Tea Party ! It was my very first official event, I was as excited as a kid at Christmas. I was really really looking forward to being there since I'd never been able to participate in any official event when I was in south of France (going to Paris can be really expensive). Saturday 23rd February, the BtssB's Tea Party took place in one of the most lolita-esque place : Ladurée. Sounds great, isn't it ? Well... It does not only sound great, it was great ! It was wonderful~

Before the Tea Party I had a lunch with Ludo, Marie and Aliénor. We decided to go together but Samantha was missing... She was working on Saturday so she couldn't attend to the event. We spent the early afternoon eating Happy Meals at Mcdonald's — because yeah, that's the best menu ever before a Tea Party — and strolled around the Champs-Elysées waiting for 3PM to ring.

Almost everybody was on time, we went upstairs in order to discover the three amazing rooms that Ladurée set aside for us. There was one big room with two tables and two smaller rooms with one table each. The four of us took a sit in one of the two small rooms along with Zoé, Tro-tro, Tiya, Pom', Claire (the Btssb's shopgirl) and a last girl that I — I'm sorry — forgot the name.

I did want to wear my Alice Bruges Tutu JSK however I didn't receive it in time, so I finally chose my Twinkle Dreaming Princess JSK. I also do adore this dress so I finally was very happy to wear it. I wanted something very princess-ish and poetic, with a lot of gold accents. It was long to collect all the hair accessories I wanted (some even are painted in order to have the right colour). I also wanted gold and glittering shoes, since I didn't find anything I liked on time, I painted them myself, with gold glitters (it was long... so long. Months after my flat is still covered in glitters, I sometimes find them in unexpected places, haha). I wish I could also show you decent pictures with my pink cape and glittering gold bag, but I don't have any.

The service was delicious, we first had viennoiseries, orange or grapefruit freshly pressed juice, a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate (we could, of course, take more than one cup) and arrays of dessert miniatures — with iconic Ladurée's macarons. Then come the champagne, that — I guess — everybody was really happy to see, haha. Though I'm not fond of anything sparkling (don't worry, I gave my drink to somebody else, no champagne was wasted !) I also was very surprised and amused to see that we had champagne. Last but not least we also had to choose a Ladurée's pastry among the very delicious variety they presented to us. Every single thing was delicious, I barely eat everything I picked — well... that was hard, but I did it, haha.

I really the picture on the left I sdould print it in order to have some souvenirs
And our amazing table ! — Unfortunately Ludo was taking the picture so he's not pictured ;__;

The Tea Party itself went very well, everybody was nice and well dressed — beautiful coordinations, beautiful coordinations everywhere ! My personal favorites were Hanako and Aliénor one's (I wish I could show you Hanako's coordination, but I don't have any picture of it). Aliénor's coordination was so gorgeous she even won the AatP's coordination prize, amazing, isn't it ?~ There was a lot of prizes for the tombola and the two best coordinations (BtssB and AatP) : giving a total of twelve prices ! Baby, the stars shine bright really spoiled us this year, I think so, haha.

Diep and I. It was the first time we met, what an adorable and kind girl~ And she comes from Vietnam !
I can't wait to meet her again this summer at Paris' events (>w<)

The still amazing Tro-tro(ishka)
Marine and I. We met few days before the Tea Party at BtssB store !

Zoé and I : I'm glad we have a picture together ! Though we don't even look to the same side ;__;
How beautiful is Pom'~ Her coordination was bird/birdcage's inspired !

I keep an amazing memory of my first official event ! I met new people, as Tiya and Tro-tro, that a lot of people told me about : I was glad to finally meet them ♥ The whole tea party was so amazing and pleasing, I wish I could have spent more time meeting people, talking with them and having fun. The rooms were fabulous, so does the menu and the service, I think that was even better than I've ever expected ! I can't wait July to come, I hope I will be able to participate in Angelic Pretty and/or BtssB's Tea Partyヾ(*>v<)

I'm not a professional at all, but it was fun to do it ♥ (and HD quality, yeah !)
